i think the claim that we can cure alzhimers is more reliable
consitering we know what causes it now
didn't researchers in spain find what appears to be a cure for hiv/aids
we seem to live in the future fellas
ah, we still only live in the present
yo, aircrete seems hella dope
yeah dude
yea
eh aircrete has the same fatal flaw as concrete
which is?
its nonrecyclible and dependent on a limited resource
the limited resource is sand?
well ok it IS recyclible but the cost of recycling it is expensive
and yes
were running out of the right kind of sand for concrete
they are already creating methods to get sand to the desirable grain level
yeah that's true
at best they can probably get that down to only twice as expensive
a concrete building vs a wood framed building one is going to last 40x longer
not really
like a concrete dome structure
vs a traditional wood framed house
yes but traditional wood framed houses arnt actually designed for duribility and the design for duribility has degraded even further with the avent of modern technology
sure a concrete dome is basicly the most durible design you can get next to perhaps a pagoda, and it eventually trumps even that when you downscale it. just a shame no one ever makes concrete dome houses which has always bothered me especially in tornado alley where we just keep replacing houses with buildings that will fail just the same way as old ones
honestly a wooden dome could stand just as well against most problems as a concrete one
its all a matter of the shape, wind cant grab a ball, and a ball is a great shape for displacing stress from an earthquake
dome's only problem is water
a wood dome on stilts wouldent work but a concrete one would be to heavy for wind to do anything about
yeah dude, I live in the hurricane zone and they need to start building homes that way, because the storms are increasing with regularity and severity. The dome also has a very aestheticly pleasant shape and look to, building a wooden dome would be pretty hard compared to concrete
imo
europeans dont much care for dome shapes
they make amazing sealants for concrete now, you'd just have to make sure you stayed up on the sealant routine
though i kinda like it
im a bit fan of dragonball's aesthetic
euros don't have hurricanes up their ass 7 months a year
that's a valid point
americans come from the same stock of people who dont find domes aesthetic
